wild salmon (maple salmon)

Three reasons your body will love you for eating wild salmon:1. Omega-3 fatty acids. These acids are so important because the body cannot make them on its own. They improve brain function, boost “good” cholesterol, guard against inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease!2. Vitamins D and B12. Vitamin D is hard to find in food and, unfortunately, deficiency is common. One role it plays is to help our bodies absorb calcium. Vitamin B-12 is important for red blood cell production and proper nerve function.3. Selenium. It is a mineral that we need for thyroid function and is a very powerful player for our immune system.

MAPLE SALMON
Made this for dinner last night with fresh salmon and it was delicious. I was honestly a little apprehensive about the sweet and salty flavor mix, but it balanced out quite nicely. Will definitely make it again!

Ingredients:

1 pound Salmon

3-4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

2 Garlic Cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Fresh Ginger, to taste

1. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic and pepper.
2. Place salmon in glass baking dish and coat with syrup mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning at least once.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
4. Remove salmon from fridge and top with ginger. Place baking dish in preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until salmon is slightly opaque and easily flaked with a fork.
